Visual Art at CAPS
The CAPS Visual Arts program is centered on creating, developing skills, and producing original work. Across all grade levels, students engage in hands-on projects that build technique, strengthen problem solving, and support meaningful self-expression.
CAPS student work is featured in Experience Début, the Holland Area Arts Council’s annual juried exhibition showcasing high school artists from across West Michigan. Selected pieces are on display from March 19 through April 25.
